Nash is a 70 point player playing with guys that are lucky to be 50 point players. Playing with a 90+ point player and an 80+ point player will bring him up a shit load. And looking at the three team you listed, I see it as: Chicago: Gaborik>Hossa Richards<Toews Kane=Nash Thats being generous to Kane too. Vancouver: Gaborkik=D. Sedin Richards<H. Sedin Kane>Burrows You definitely have the argument that that line has WAY better chemistry, but individual skill level hjas got to go to NYR Anahiem: Gaborik>>>>>>Blake Richards<Getzlaf Nash=Perry Maybe if Anahiem had Bobby Ryan on their first line it would be closer. All the other ones you said are just two really good players on a line with some other throw in for the most part. This Ranger line would have three of the leagues ELITE players all on the same line. All of which are right around their prime. Not young players who are unproven, or old geasers who are showing declines in their game.

I do a few bets with my friends, thats about it.

And Chris Bosh's first game back. The amount of signs calling him a baby and everything was pretty crazy. Obviously raptors aren't close to OKC, but in those moments Raps fans get pretty crazy.

I voted dream team, but I do have to agree with Flash. I think it would be a lot closer then you're making it out to be.

Nash-Richards-Gaborik would be automatically the best line in the league.

Not to mention he just signed a deal that's paying him around 20 million a year for the next 5 years with the Bulls. What the [expletive] could he even do with all that money?

I wish I could have watched the game last night. Was busy last night, but it looks like there were some sick plays.

Don't they have to shoot threes in the skills comp? Rondo's gunna make a fool of himself.

Agreed. Dwight was much funnier when he was an ignorant freak. I absolutely hate the "bitch" pam. Find her very annoying. I also don't like Andy as the manager at all and Jim has sucked ever since he became co-manager.

Season ticket holders probably won't even show up

I liked it about 10 times better with steve carell personally.

Great post. I agreed with everything you said. One little thing i'd like to say about last nights game. Even though I know it was only one game, Demar showed a signifigant improvement in his mid-range jumpers compared to the rest of the year. Hopefully he can keep that up.

Don't worry about the sig btw, i'll stick with the one i've got now. thanks again :glasses:

I like the one with the border. Thanks!

Nope. Thank god lol. It's gunna be Kevin Durant in the 3-point contest.

420

I've liked Demar's ability to shoot mid-range jumpers tonight. He's been very consistent, and now he's got 20 points in 3 straight games.

surprised this thread isn't closed yet lol

i'm canadian so i don't really care that much, but I do think those are nicer than the 08' ones

Thanks

Has Sacha posted on OTR since this? .... lol

I never expected him the #1 be a go-to scorer on the Raptors. I still think he's got the potential to be the third go-to guy or so, maybe 4th. He shjowed last year that he can have a good mid-range jumper, and he's shown this year he can have a decent 3-point shot. All he's got to do is be able to develop both of them into his game instead of only being able to have one of those aspects to his game. You're right about not having great handles, but he's still young. You kind of make it sound like he's 25 or 26 years old, and he is still struggling. He can still improve his game. If he turns out being an Ariza-type player, then thats alright too. I'd rather that than being an absolute bust. The thing is, Ariza has never averaged more than 14.0 PPG, and it took him 8 seasons to do that. Derozan averaged 17.2 PPG in only his second season in the NBA. I think it's a low chance that Derozan doesn't turn out to be at the least, a 12-15 PPG player.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same for Raptors fans.

I like both Adidas and Nike as far as their fan apparel, pre game warm up, etc designs go. I prefer both of them over Reebok. reebok still has the rights for the NHL, and all my Maple Leafs shirts made by Reebok seem cheaper as compared to my Raptors shirts made by Adidas. I don't really know why though?

Well, the Leafs were atleast able to bring tonights game to OT, receiving one point and not losign any ground on Winnipeg. Although in the end, goaltending was the reason for the loss. Gustavsson seemed to get rattled quickly after the first goal, which was not at all his fault. But then right away he alows a softy to give the Devils an early 2-0 lead. Leafs were able to battle back, but Gus again allowed a bad goal near the end of the second. Luckily Kessel was able to tie it up right before the end of regualtion to bring it to OT. Leafs end up losing in OT because of a absolutley HORRIBLE goal allowed by Gus. All in all, 3 of the 4 goals on the Leafs were bad goals, and we suffer our 6th loss in our past 7.
